Distributed Computing Start Guide

Welcome to Biblepay Distributed Computing - Getting Started

Each Biblepay Researcher participates in one or more Distributed Computing projects. Biblepay currently only supports Rosetta@Home, since this project helps cure cancer, and we are aligned with Healing in Jesus Name.

One researcher may wish to participate in a project on multiple machines. You may use windows, linux, or Android ARM devices.

A single researcher is identified by One CPID (Cross-Project-Identifier).

Therefore one CPID is pointed to All of your computing devices that compute to help cure cancer.

The Biblepay Controller Wallet will create One public key to be associated with your single Researcher CPID.

You do NOT need to run multiple copies of Biblepay. You only need one controller wallet, and many research machines.

Jarid will remote in to each of his distributed computers, launch BOINC, and click Tools | Add Project | Rosetta@Home | Next.
From the prompts, enter the Rosetta account e-mail and password (If you do not have one, click Join and create an account from any machine).

Note: If you desire privacy, you may enter your nickname in for your username and your anonymous info for your city and area, as we take privacy seriously.
No personal information is transmitted from Biblepay to BOINC or from BOINC to biblepay, except your CPID. Your IP is handled by the BOINC system, and not
recorded by biblepay).

Click Finished.

At this point the remote machine will start computing Rosetta tasks. (Note: We will publish a guide with tips on how to set up CPU usage and optimization. We support everything from cancer-mining during periods of inactivity all the way to full-bore processing at 100%).

After you finish installing the cancer miner on every machine, come back to the controller wallet (biblepay).

The single home computer controller wallet is one instance of biblepay, and although it contains many public biblepay addresses, only one is used to attach your wallet to a CPID. So we have One controller wallet, with One public Key (your address), attached to One CPID.

One CPID is attached to One Researcher. One CPID may participate in many projects. Since Biblepay only supports one project, One CPID is pointed to One project (Rosetta).

Each CPID has one or many computers. So think of One CPID referring to many computing devices.

Once per day, the distributed computing subsystem will automatically airdrop your payments to your wallet in the daily superblock.

Each CPIDs performance is measured in the form of RAC (Recent-Average-Credit is the half life of your total rosetta credit, it decays constantly, but is useful in measuring an accurate representation of the work put into the project on a regular basis - see more on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Computation_credit).

So let us analyze Jarids RAC for Rosetta:

Let us assume Biblepay has 10 Researchers, each with One CPU running 24 hours per day - mining Cancer Research through Rosetta:
Each researcher has accumulated 5,000 total credit points.
Each researcher's RAC is now 1,000 (Recent-average-credit).
This gives Biblepay as a team a 10,000 total Rosetta RAC for the next superblock.
Each researcher has contributed 10% toward the superblock. Therefore, each researcher should be compensated 10% of the superblock value.

(Note, in this example, each Researcher has a magnitude of 1000).
(Magnitude is computed by assessing the Individual Researchers Share of RAC * 1000).

Magnitude is also your relative strength to another researcher.
If Joe has a magnitude of 700, and Jarid is computing at 350, Joe has done 2 Times the work as Jarid in the recent period.

Payments

Proof-of-work (Heat-related) payments have been diverted to proof-of-distributed-computing.
This means that Biblepay currently has approx. 1,212,000 BBP available per day in its distributed-computing budget.

The daily superblock will contain 1,212,000 in payments split according to the share of work done by the researchers.

So, in our example with 10 equal researchers, each would receive 121,200 BBP per day.
